Ernest Alfred Vizetelly (1853-1922), traducteur et lui-même écrivain, fut l'indispensable relais entre le public de langue anglaise et l'œuvre d'Émile Zola. Entre 1891 et 1902, il traduisit presque toute la série des Rougon-Macquart, Les Trois Villes et Les Quatre Évangiles. Il publia également des entrevues avec l'écrivain dans divers journaux britanniques, protégea les droits d'auteur de Zola sur le marché américain et fut un allié fidèle lors de l'affaire Dreyfus, alors que le romancier était en exil en Angleterre. La correspondance jette une lumière nouvelle sur l'univers de la traduction littéraire au tournant du siècle. Elle éclaire également les modalités du commerce du livre, dans le sillage de la Convention de Berne, à une époque où il n'y avait que deux courriers par semaine entre Londres et New York, où la machine à écrire faisait son apparition, où le feuilleton dans les quotidiens était roi…

"These are turbulent times in the world of book publishing. For nearly five centuries the methods and practices of book publishing remained largely unchanged, but at the dawn of the twenty-first century the industry finds itself faced with perhaps the greatest challenges since Gutenberg. A combination of economic pressures and technological change is forcing publishers to alter their practices and think hard about the future of books in the digital age." "In this book £ the first major study of trade publishing for more than thirty years - Thompson situates the current challenges facing the industry in a historical context, analysing the transformation of trade publishing in the United States and Britain since the 1960's. He gives a detailed account of how the world of trade publishing really works, dissecting the roles of publishers, agents and booksellers and showing how their practices are shaped by a field that has a distinctive structure and dynamic. By reconstructing this dynamic he is able to shed fresh light on how bestsellers are made and on why many thousands of books and authors find themselves marooned in an industry increasingly focused on short-term growth and profitability. Against this backcloth Thompson analyses the impact of the digital revolution on book publishing and examines the pressures £ both economic and technological £ that are re-shaping the field of trade publishing today." "The outcome of nearly five years of research, this major new book will establish itself as an exemplary work in the study of contemporary culture and will be essential reading for anyone interested in books and their future."--BOOK JACKET.

"Breaking new ground in the study of British literary culture during an important, transitional period, this new work by Mary Ann Gillies focuses on the professional literary agent whose emergence in Britain around 1880 coincided with and accelerated the transformation of both publishing and authorship." "Like other recent studies in book and print culture, The Professional Literary Agent in Britain, 1880-1920 starts from the central premise that the business of authorship is inextricably linked with the aesthetics of literary praxis. Rather than provide a broad overview of the period, however, Gillies focuses on a specific figure, the professional literary agent. She then traces the influence of two prominent agents - A.P. Watt (generally acknowledged as the first professional literary agent) and J.B. Pinker (the leading figure in the second wave of agents) - focusing on their respective relationships with two key clients. The case studies not only provide insight into the business dynamics of the literary world at this time, but also illustrate the shifting definition of literature itself during the period."--Jacket
